Termite Inspection
Galston North West

Termite Inspection & Treatment

Termites are known across Australia as ‘white ants’. These regular household pests create huge levels of damage to buildings throughout Galston North West every year, creating a strong need for termite inspection.

Termite Removal/Management Processes

There are several treatments possible and each has its benefits and draw backs. Two main strategies are commonly employed for termite management in Galston; either the production of a white ant barrier between the structure and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony with baiting.

Chemical treatments are the more traditional treatment to get rid of white ants in Galston homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to exterminate the colony also has some distinct benefits which cannot be forgotten.

To make sure the job is done right, it’s advised to get a specialist termite exterminator in to assess the situation.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals easy to detect and an excellent deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering great protection to all treated locations. However, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, termites may recognise the gaps and could sometimes gain access.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they go through the residue and die. In addition, individual white ants can often transfer the chemicals on to other members in the colony, creating a compounding and efficient result.

Since the termites don’t detect these non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated places, and are much less likely to gain access via gaps.

Fipronil is the most widely used non-repellent on the market, and has a residual lifetime of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from the home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore enticing the pests to eat a poison bait instead of the structure. These termites will then feed the bait to other individuals in the nest which produces a compounding result.

In this way, the entire termite colony can be eliminated, even though you do not know the actual location of the colony. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of white ants. These systems are especially useful when the layout of a home will make it tricky to have effective perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
